Default Just ordered my new snail, what do you think???

Ok, I am getting it soon, hopefully! Heres the specs.....
T3/TO4E .48 exhaust with stage 3 wheel and a .57 trim compressor. I also opted for the 360degree bearing. I was told it will easily flow 275-300 hp and start boosting at about 3K. Also, after I build my motor all I gotta do is replace the exhaust housing with a .57 and its good for 400 hp.
What do you guys think? I will post pics when I get it!

Sweet, I finally got my snail the other day.



Bad thing is I don't know what the specs are because Majestic forgot to put them on there. They also sent the turbo with a wastegate & exhaust flange for the internal wastgate. Errr, now I have to wait for them to send me one of those crescent shaped thingies to take the place of the wastegate bracket that holds on one of the housings.

Delays, delays. And of course the boost controller still hasn't arrived so I'll be running under 5 lbs to start with

Longer than it will take me to get twice as far after I install it!

And of course my wife was pissed when she caught me cuddling with it on the new couch after I installed all the vacuum and oil fittings..

Sounds good.

Not a fan of the .48 exhaust housing tho. Robs top-end. But you should be able to get away with it as long as you don't rev too far past 6K RPM.

I'm not seeing the internal wastegate on the turbo.

That's because I took it off friends ... no reason to leave it on for the pictures, otherwise it'd look about like a stock T-bird turbo

Talking about the internal wastegate of course...

LOL!!! Just don't take it to bed or she will have something to be real jealous of.

BTW: Nice snail, can't wait to get mine.
